virtue speedfeed crown 2 problem

I bought this virtue speedfeed crown 2 because i thought it looked cool i tryed to use it today and the paint would just sit on top of the fingers and would not got in. I had to push each ball through the speedfeed. can i boil them?

any thoughts on fixing this issue? I already read the thred about cutting them and i dont really want to do that.

the entire pod won't go in. i had to take off half of the fingers just to let the balls go around the fingers. i might as well not have anything on it now due to the big gap. the balls just fall out now

So wait, they held the ENTIRE pod out? That's pretty ridiculous... Stick a pod into it for a few days
